ABSTRACT

Introduction: Gastric mucosal heterotopia of the proximal esophagus (HMGEP) is a poorly understood and probably underdiagnosed clinical entity that consists of the presence of islands of ectopic gastric mucosa in the proximal esophagus. Clinical Case: In this article, we present the case of a newborn who started with early stridor and respiratory distress secondary to redundant mucosa in the postcricoid region that prolapsed over the supraglottis, occluding the airway lumen. The histopathological study reports HMGEP. Ablative laser therapy is performed with which the patient gradually recovers. Methodology: An extensive search of the HMGEP literature was conducted in PubMed, SciELO, Mendeley, and Elsevier data base; in English and Spanish, from 1980 to 2021, including a total of 18 articles. Discussion: HMGEP is usually an asymptomatic entity that sometimes causes pharyngolaryngeal symptoms and, infrequently, can be associated with complications such as stenosis, ulcers, esophageal perforation, and even airway obstruction, as in the present case. Conclusions: In addition to the various alterations in the airway that can generate stridor and respiratory distress in children, we must rule out underlying gastroesophageal causes associated with these manifestations, such as HMGEP.
